Next to cleaning the interior windshield, waxing the wheels is my least favorite detailing job. What's the point? I honestly cannot tell a difference after I've waxed them, and the wax doesn't seem to last very long at all. Waxing, or sealing, the wheels is supposed to make subsequent clean-up easier, and maybe it does for one or two washes, if one only uses car wash solution on the wheels and if whatever one uses on the tires doesn't drip down onto the wheel face and if the detailing gods have decided to be merciful. But given the investment of time required to wax the wheels and the lack of wax longevity, it just doesn't seem worth it.
I have used NXT as my wheel sealant. Currently I am using Collinite 476s. I honestly don't think it matters what one uses, at least on my two Hondas. I attend to the wheels regularly. Brake dust is not a huge problem. Spray the wheels with some APC, agitate with a brush, rinse, and--voila! the wheels are clean.
So why worry about waxing the wheels. What's the deal?
